ANTHROPOLOGY 385 



individual, and discovered as long ago as 1908, is now referred 

 by the American palaeontologists to Hesperopithecus . This 

 evidence of the presence of a great Catarrhine in North America 

 in the Pliocene is, however, very slender, and it is probably 

 desirable at present to preserve an agnostic attitude on the 

 question. 



The Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia, 

 vol. iii, pt. 3 (1920-21), contain, as usual, a number of most 

 interesting articles. Attention may be drawn to an article by 

 Reid Moir entitled : " Further Discoveries of Humanly Fashioned 

 Flints in and beneath the Red Crag of Suffolk." During the 

 last three or four years, Reid Moir has been linking up the 

 Rostro-Carinate implements of the Pliocene, the artefact nature 

 of which he was the first to prove, with the earliest Chellian 

 implements ; and it may now be said that the gap — once very 

 wide — between these tvvo " industries " has been satisfactorily 

 bridged. The Proceedings also contain reports by Prof. Marr 

 and others on certain excavations at Mildenhall, which were 

 undertaken in 1920. The Presidential Address by the Rev. 

 H. G. O. Kendall was entitled : " Eoliths : Their Origin and 

 Age." This contribution is insufficiently critical, and the 

 author does not really get to grips with the required proofs of 

 these alleged implements. 



The following papers may also be noted : 



In the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, vol. iv, No. 2 (April to 

 June 1921) : " The Types of Scapulae," by W. W. Graves ; " Further Studies 

 in Tooth Morphology," by A. Hrdlicka ; and " Hereditary and Racial 

 Variation in Palmaris longus," by J. W. Thompson, J. McBatts, and C. H. 

 Danforth. And in the same Journal, vol. iv, No. 3 (July to September 1921) : 

 " The Testing of Physical Ef&ciency," by M. Jindrich ; and " The Quantita- 

 tive Determination of Black Pigmentation in the Skin of the American 

 Negro," by T. Wingate Todd and Lcona van Gorder. And in the Proc. 

 Prehist. Soc. E. Ang., vol. iii, pt. 3 (1920-21) : " The Grimes Graves' Fauna," 

 by W. G. Clarke ; and " The Congress at Liege " (of the International 

 Institute of Anthropology), by M. C. Burkitt.
